[edit] Plot

Somewhere on the Mexican Riviera, a beautiful, rich heiress (Sheila Kelley) has gone missing after a purse snatching results in her hitting her head and getting amnesia. Only one man can find her. Unfortunately, they sent two. One is a detective (Danny Glover) searching for the missing heiress. The other is an accident waiting to happen. The daughter of a wealthy businessman has disappeared in Mexico, and all the efforts to find her have been unsuccessful. A psychologist (Harry Shearer), knowing that the girl has ultra bad luck, persuades her father (Sam Wanamaker) to send to Mexico one of his employees (Martin Short), an accountant with super bad luck, to find her. Perhaps he will be lucky, and his bad luck could help to find the unlucky girl.
